They are cruel pictures. The Giza zoo in Egypt is a horror for the animals. It is time for Egypt to close this zoo and free these innocent animals!
In many ways Egypt rivals China in its abhorrent treatment of animals.
Animals in extremely small confined spaces with no food or water. Elephants are chained up, lions are circling neurotically in tight cages, the animals there are far too close to each other, many are sore and apathetic.
The Giza Zoo, founded in 1891, used to be the most spectacular – and popular – zoo in all of Africa.
Today, it’s a shadow of what it once was.
Animals live in crowded cages and are rarely exercised. Zookeepers were also known to pad their wallets by charging visitors to enter the cages.
Video footage from the zoo shows an elephant’s foot chained to a post preventing the animal from walking around. Other animals are just slaughtered.
The “worst zoo in the world” is in Egypt
Egypt’s Giza Zoo has been described by Egyptian Streets as “the worst zoo in the world” and a “zoo of horror”.
Tripadvisor reviews describe filthy, tiny cages and unfortunate, sick animals. Photos show lion cubs being held by visitors and animals beaten with sticks. This zoo must be closed immediately, so a petition that was sent to us.

In researching Egypt, we also came across animal torture for tourism. With all the political chaos in Egypt, it is easy to forget the suffering of its animals. Animals in ancient Egypt were once valued and respected, but like China, there is no animal welfare. The animals are exposed to every kind of abuse imaginable.
But not only the horror zoo leads to a boycott was called to make a holiday in Egypt. The rampant abuse of horses, camels and donkeys at major attractions such as the Pyramids of Giza has also led to this.
A trip to the famous pyramids of Giza (of which we had reported in our blog (https://worldanimalsvoice.com/2019/04/15/egypt-animal-slaves-for-the-pyramid-tourism/) should have been a hell of a vacation for an hungarian tourist. She was shocked and outraged by what she had seen.
Inside the pyramid complex, emaciated horses panted and kicked as they climbed a steep slope with tourists.
The drivers whipped them out to make them run faster. Some horses slipped and stumbled on the smooth asphalt and others had open wounds. Despite the summer heat, there was no water supply.
“I was shocked,” the tourist recalled. It was like in another world. “

It is time for Egypt to close this zoo and free these innocent animals!
In today’s Egypt the animals suffer a very heavy fate. The country has almost no laws protecting wild and domesticated animals and they are exposed to every kind of abuse imaginable.
Egypt competes in many ways with China for the appalling treatment of animals.

My comment: Most tourists visiting Cairo close their eyes.
They open it only to the world wondering to look at the pyramids, and the tragic miracle of what happens next to them, the misery of the work animals and their brutal torture leaves them indifferent.
This is the continuation of slavery in the 21st century.
2500 BC it was slaves who performed these miracles.
Today the animals are the slaves who every day and in miserable condition have to transport the tourists of their owners.
But these torments are favored by the stupid tourists who allow their use of obviously tortured animals to cause new suffering.

On the Arabian Peninsula, the Omani Sultanate is creating a mega-dairy farm where around 25,000 cows produce around one million liters of milk a day. The plant is managed by the Mazoon Dairy Company.
The giant farm is scheduled to go into operation in the next three months.
“In the first phase, we will start producing 350,000 liters of milk a day,” said Saleh Al Shanfari, managing director of the Oman Food Investment Holding Company (OFIHC) on the “Times of Oman”.
The farm is designed for the management of 25,000 cows. “At present we have around 4,000, mainly from Australia imported dairy cows in the farm, but the herd is growing,” said Al Shanfari.
By 2030, a total of 365 million liters per year (or 1 million liters of milk per day) are to be produced.
Objective of the XXL farm: reduce milk imports
In addition to the cowsheds, a dairy, a sales and logistics center, a biogas plant and a field with solar panels are to be built.
According to Al Shanfari, milk production has already started as a test phase. At the same time, excess milk is exported and sold locally to large milk producers.
With the XXL farm, Oman wants to set up its own dairy industry to reduce dependence on imported dairy products.

My comment: First of all, some important information about the milk.
Animal protein, especially that from the milk, is a very good promoter of cancer growth.This has been proven in studies.
Professor T. Colin Campell examined this as part of his China Study, which was funded by US and Chinese taxpayers, and stated, “Which protein turned out to be carcinogenic? Casein, which accounts for 87% of the bread contained in cow’s milk, promotes all stages of cancer growth.
But it gets worse: according to a study by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health, 92% of the toxic substances in the diet (dioxins and PCBs) come from animal products.
The largest individual supplier of toxins is milk with 47%.
Of course, the average citizen does not know that the milk contains a variety of different hormones (growth hormones, sex hormones, etc.) that are otherwise available only on prescription in the pharmacy due to their health risks.
Cow’s milk is used biologically to breed a calf within a very short time.
However, when this hormone cocktail encounters an organism such as a human, which is not destined for this effect, the entire pattern of a chronic, often deadly disease becomes understandable.
The result is: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, dementia, Alzheimer’s, strokes …
Today we know a lot about the relationship between diet and health.
But true science is deliberately buried under harmful information, which are produced by the propaganda of the meat and milk mafia.
Because, in the state committees around the world, which set the official dietary recommendations, the members are mainly representatives of the animal industry (Dr. med. Ernst Walter Henrich)

Update: 28/7/19 1140hrs GMT.
The Al Shuwaikh is now in the Gulf of Oman; to the North East of Muscat city in Oman.
As you can see from the map, Kuwait is located much further up the gulf.
The vessel is due to arrive in Kuwait on 3/8/19.
Will soon be sailing the ‘Straits of Hormuz’, which as all news watchers will know, has been a problem area over the last few weeks for oil carrier shipping.
Is the turtle pigeon hunt over soon?
Every year in France and Spain, hunters legally shoot between 1.4 and 2.2 million lovebirds – that’s about a quarter of the stock in the entire European Union! At the same time, the species dies out faster than protective measures can take effect.
The EU has now initiated a lawsuit against both countries, because they still release the Turtle Dove almost unlimitedly for launch.
The “Committee Against Bird Slaughter” had just published a scientific study of the current hunting statistics this spring, including fresh information on the unbelievable amount of turtle hunting.
The governments in Madrid and Paris now have the opportunity to explain themselves.
If they do not do so, they will be taken to the European Court of Justice. Chances are better than ever!
https://www.facebook.com/Komitee.CABS
My comment: Turtle doves are a symbol of love and happiness, and some people believe that they can cure disease.
That is why two to three million birds are killed every year in the EU alone?
The organization BirdLife International, estimates that up to 600,000 lovebirds in the Mediterranean are shot down each year.
You have to be a pathetic, underdeveloped monster to enjoy the murder of these peaceful, lovely birds.
But with this massacre it seems to be over.
At least the French and Spanish psychopaths will soon have to look for another fun in the future.
Best regards, Venus

Close to death, brain injured but so brave: Sona’s recovery
Laying on the road this poor little collapsed darling was fading away before our eyes. For several days she didn’t regain consciousness after suffering a head injury. We gave her IV fluids until she slowly began to eat on her own, but the reason we feel she stayed alive is because she was so motivated by love. Watch beautiful Sona who achieved the ability to eat again, walk again, run again (though wobbly), and in the process, bloomed with love.
Please donate for brave little bundles.
Adorable dog recovers from badly wounded ear.
This gorgeous boy’s ear was destroyed by maggots. Neighbors had tied him to make sure he didn’t wander away before we arrived, but when we met this sweetheart we realized he was so loving and friendly he would never have resisted being carried, if it meant he’d squeeze in some more snuggles. He needed extensive wound treatments, daily flushing and bandaging and a course of antibiotics, but he was cheerful from the first moment until his healing was complete after a month.
Please donate. When happy animals are very hurt helping feels so good
Sophia was badly burned but so brave
Sophia’s burn was almost a foot long. We don’t know what caused it but this beautiful girl was in excruciating pain. It took 2 months of daily wound dressings to heal and during that time, we fell in love with her. Her patience and understanding were inspirational; she was one of those special “people” who are so peaceful they can make wherever they are seem like home. Meet the gracious Sophia today.
Please donate today for street animal healing
Shylo’s skin was like cracked stone. Amazing recovery of a shy softie!
It’s almost impossible to spot her at first but you’ll soon see that this gravelly mound is a dog suffering in the desperate grip of mange. The mange parasites have caused a condition called crusting, and the pain and itching is part of the most extreme suffering imaginable. We named this shy, frightened girl Shylo, and when you see her transformation you seriously won’t recognize her as the same dog. But that’s what healing can look like: pure beauty.
Please donate to heal the helpless.
We thank you deeply for all you do, are, and inspire for animals.
Founding family Erika, Claire and Jim,
and the whole Animal Aid Unlimited team
Animal tormentors would understand very well what animals suffer from their sadism if they experience the same thing. But also animal abusers have rights that protect and allow them to use violence and exploitation on other non-human animals.
Animals have no rights. Nowhere in the world.
They are valued as things, and what we define today as animal rights is nothing but a weak legal system that accepts animals not as persons but only as subordinate beings, and therefore this legal system recognizes to the animals only those rights which serve and favor humans!
For this reason alone, we are far from being a civilized and progressive society.
Best regards, Venus
